29' Ford Rat Rod (modded)
Revell 29 rat rod series. Building it so it will look old.
Engine has -upsidedown exhaust manifold for turbo -weber carb in front of turbo -oil lines for turbo -spark wires -weathered using thinned black (very good stuff) http://public.fotki.com/Jurvanen/29_...ord29_002.html Rusting front fenders. Is this authentic? My first try. http://public.fotki.com/Jurvanen/29_...ord29_001.html New pics later on. |

Wow! Great job. That motor looks awesome, looks like something you'd see out in the junkyard. The rust looks really good too. A little substantial, but great job.

Not bad rust but may i offer some suggestions? next time you need to thin the plastic before rusting. a rust spot would never be that thick. if you look at a real rusted car the rust spot tapers out very thin, it wouldnt have the thickness around the edges. also the paint looks too new for a rusted out car so you should dust the fenders and such as well. hope this makes sense but for a first effort its a nice effect!

Well, have you decided what to call this. I got new idea for the bed. Flip-style that is.
Turbo is scratchbuilt from part-trees. Maybe i'll do a How-To next time. And for rusting. I'll probably make fender edges thinner and add some spices to simulate rust. Is that rust color ok? |

Well, chassis is done. Engine is in place. Weathered chassis and suspension parts. Body needs some weathering too.
